Two Casper Police Officers Honored For Performing Their Duties In Shooting Incident

For their actions in a shooting incident earlier this year, two Casper Police officers were not only honored by the Casper community, but they were given some of the highest honors they could receive.

Officers Jacob Carlson and Randi Garrett were awarded the Medal of Valor, for what Casper Police Chief Keith McPheeters described as going above and beyond the call of duty, when they were fired upon in an incident in May 2018.

Carlson, who also received a Purple Heart Medal, was hit 6 times (a 7th shot hit his weapon), and survived after numerous medical procedures.
